"Be aggressive towards violators of the order": the Paris police are prepared for the match against Maccabi Haifa Israel today

2022-10-25T14:09:41.096Z


Over 1,000 policemen will be stationed in the Parc de France in order to prevent clashes between the fan camps of the Greens and PSG in tonight's game (Tuesday, 10:00 p.m.) • More than 5,000 are in the city of lights, most of them have already purchased a ticket for the host stands


The Paris police are preparing for the match tonight (Tuesday, 22:00) between PSG and Maccabi Haifa.

Over 1,000 police officers will maintain order throughout the stadium and the roads adjacent to it, when there will be complete separation between the fan camps.

Unlike Israel, in France the police can enter the stands and the message at the meeting held this morning in Paris was clear: "There will be aggressiveness on the part of the police towards anyone who tries to break the order."

Following this, Maccabi Haifa hopes that there will be no clashes and that the thousands of fans who came from Israel will follow the instructions.

Those who bought tickets to the Paris stands, asked the club again to arrive without identification marks and not fall into provocations in the stands.

In general, the French authorities treat the arrival of thousands of Israelis in Paris as an explosive event.

The fear in the French police is of major conflicts between fans and for that there is a complete buffer between the camps and there is no access to the area where the Paris Ultras fans will sit.

The problem from the point of view of the local police is that thousands of Israelis are expected to sit in other stands in the stadium and if there are frictions between the camps, the policemen will not wait on the sidelines and the order is to restore order in any way that seems appropriate.

In any case, over 5,000 Maccabi Haifa fans are now in Paris, the vast majority of them have purchased tickets for the hosts' stands and others are still trying to purchase through ticket websites or local brokers.

This is more than ten percent of the contents of the "Parc de France" and double the amount committed by UEFA.
